1 CTY OF LOS ANGELES NTER-DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM Date: January 15, 2019 To: Honorable City Council c/o City Clerk, Room 395 Attention: Committee Chair From: Seleta i. Reynolds, General Manager Department of Transportation Subject: Vision Zero mplementation Strategy for the Safety of the Traveling Public - Fiscal Year SUMMARY Council File directs the Los Angeles Department, of Transportation (LADOT) to provide an overview of LADOT Vision Zero projects planned for the Fiscal Year, contingent upon adoption of the Mayor's budget. This report covers LADOT planned work on Priority Corridors and Priority ntersections, the Street Reconstruction program, Caltrans coordination, community engagement, and project evaluation. RECOMMENDATON LADOT recommends the Los Angeles City Council receive and file this item. BACKGROUND CF directs LADOT to report annually with a set of proposed Vision Zero projects for consideration by Council and for inclusion in the Mayor's proposed budget. Proposed projects must, achieve the following objectives: 1. Prioritize Vision Zero projects by greatest impact. 2. Ensure the validity of the High njury Network (HM) and Priority Corridor data. 3. Base Vision Zero improvements on collision data. 4. Prioritize projects that address known threats to public safety, with consideration given to severity, vulnerability, social equity, and cost effectiveness. n November 2018, LADOT submitted a report to Council proposing a new methodology for determining and prioritizing projects in line with these objectives. n December 2018, Council adopted the report, approving 20 additional Priority Corridors and 60 new Priority intersections (see Attachments 2 and 3). The new Priority Locations supplement the 40 Priority Corridors identified by LADOT and adopted by City Council in Per Council direction, LADOT will prioritize its work at these locations by social equity indicators according to the Los Angeles Health and Equity ndex.
2 Honorable City Council 2 January 15, 2019 DSCUSSON LADOT used a new methodology to identify additional Priority Corridors for The new methodology ranked ail segments of HN corridors based on the number of people who have been killed or seriously injured per mile across all modes, without any additional weighting for pedestrian or cyclist injuries or fatalities. This analysis excluded 2017 Priority Corridors so as not to duplicate Priority Corridor locations. LADOT analyzed the most recent five-year collision data (January December 2017) and identified the top 20 corridors on the High njury Network that meet the following criteria: A minimum length of 0.5 miles A minimum average of 15 people killed or severely injured per mile (KS/Mile) Per council direction, LADOT will prioritize projects on the approved 2019 Priority Corridors and ntersections based on party vulnerability and social equity according to the Los Angeles Health and Equity index. Some of the city's most pressing safety challenges are in singular locations, and not along corridors. To address this, LADOT also analyzed all intersections in the city, regardless of whether they are on the HN, to identify intersections with the highest levels of deaths and serious injuries. The Department continues to look at new strategies to target high- crash locations. Consistent with work completed tn 2017 and 2018, LADOT will install safety improvements at Priority Locations in three phases. Collision and traffic data will identify improvements that address the specific needs of a given corridor or intersection, and a community engagement strategy will help inform the suite of treatments installed in each phase, Phase 1 implementation includes low cost treatments, such as roadway re-striping, signs, and other lower cost measures. Some of these improvements, such as painted intersection tightenings or buffered bike lanes, are considered pilots of more permanent safety improvements. Phase 2 safety improvements include new or upgraded traffic signals that strengthen Phase 1 improvements. The City installs Phase 3 concrete treatments on streets to make improvements permanent and change the character of the street. The projects described below in Phases 1, 2, and 3 are contingent upon pending Fiscal Year 2020 budget requests. The quantify of work planned is intended to be ambitious, but achievable in the fiscal year, based on current and expected resources. Community Engagement LADOT will launch a robust community engagement strategy around ail 2019 Priority Locations and five 2017 Priority Corridors (see Attachments 1 and 2) to ensure context-sensitive safety improvements and that all members of the community are aware of a project's safety benefits and tradeoffs. LADOT will manage a team of Community-Based Organizations working together as regional leads to support this effort, beginning with a social-context analysis that will inform future engagement. Engagement activities will include youth canvassing, business engagement, social media outreach, mobile storytelling and comment collection, community-based events, and tactical urbanism. These activities will incorporate translation and interpretation services, childcare and transportation coordination, and accessibility. To gauge the success of its engagement efforts and positively iterate on the strategy, LADOT will conduct evaluations, before and after surveys, and focus groups. A new LADOT Vision Zero website, launching in 2019, will be an online hub for Vision Zero projects and allow LADOT to connect with communities and collect feedback around proposed projects and safety concerns outside of in-person engagement.
3 Honorable City Council 3 January 15, 2019 in the department's FY 2020 proposed budget, LADOT has requested an engagement coordinator (Transportation Planning Associate if) and an assistant engagement coordinator (Transportation Planning Associate 1} to oversee LADOT's ongoing large-scale engagement efforts, LADOT has also requested a Vision Zero graphic designer (Graphics Designer 11} to create all outreach materials in-house, including project boards, flyers, door-hangers, fact sheets, photo simulations of planned improvements, infographics, community curriculum, maps for walk audits, and more. f funded, LADOT expects these positions to reduce our reliance on consultant services and realize cost savings for future budget cycles. Phase.! LADOT will initiate design on the twenty 2019 Priority Corridors in January n FY 2020, LADOT will continue to implement Phase 1 improvements on five 2017 Priority Corridors (Attachment 1} and begin implementation on the twenty 2019 Priority Corridors (Attachment 2), n total, this amounts to approximately 36 miles of new striping and signs in FY LADOT will also install Speed Feedback Signs on the 2019 Priority Corridors. LADOT will take a similar Phase 1 approach to the Priority ntersections {Attachment 3). Phase 1 intersection safety treatments may include new crosswalks, crosswalk upgrades, interim intersection tightenings, adjustments to turn pockets or lane widths, new signage, and adjustments to signal timing and operation. Vision Zero safety improvements and their ability to reduce crashes are described in detail in LADOT's Safety Toolkit, attached hereto (Attachment 4). Phase...! LADOT plans to design and install Pedestrian Activated Yellow Flashing Beacons (PAYFB), Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), and/or High-intensity Activated crosswalk beacons (HAWKs) at 20 locations on Priority Corridors (2017 and 2019). Beacons increase the rate at which vehicles yield to pedestrians n a crosswalk by up to 97%. n addition to these pedestrian signals, LADOT will design and begin installation of 100 new signals and signal upgrades on Priority Corridors, at Priority intersections, and other high-crash locations throughout the City. New traffic signals have been shown to reduce crashes by up to 25% and protected left turns, a common signal upgrade, have been shown to reduce left-turn crashes by as much as 99%, LADOT will also install Leading Pedestrian ntervals (LP) on 2019 Priority Corridors where appropriate. LPis reduce crashes between turning vehicles and pedestrians in crosswalks by up to 60%. Phase.3 Partnering with the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) for design, and the Bureau of Street Services (BSS) for construction, LADOT plans to implement 20 new pedestrian refuge islands in order to improve pedestrian safety. Pedestrian refuge islands have been shown to reduce crashes by an average of 46% at marked crossings. With additional resources requested for the FY 2020 budget, LADOT plans to design 40 curb extensions at strategic locations along Priority Corridors. Concrete curb extensions reduce crashes by 30% by encouraging slower and more careful vehicle turn movements and enhancing pedestrian visibility.
4 Honorable City Council 4 January 15, 2019 Street. Reconstruction Program The City's Street Reconstruction Program aims to combine street reconstruction, sidewalk repair, curb ramp upgrades, green street treatments, street lighting enhancements, and Vision Zero improvements into singular complete street projects. With this program, the City can accomplish Phase 1, 2, and 3 improvements for select streets to deliver transformative safety projects. in FY 2020, work will continue on the first set of Street Reconstruction projects including Venice Bivd, Main St, Reseda Blvd, and Avalon Blvd (Attachment 5). A forthcoming report will put forth a list of proposed streets for the reconstruction program for Council consideration Priority Corridors with poor pavement quality are eligible for this program. LADOT will engage communities around the design of safety improvements for a second set of streets. Work completed with the Street Reconstruction Program ensures that streets and sidewalks for each of the project corridors will be brought to a state of good repair. Repaired sidewalks, curbs, and gutters, as well as modernized access ramps will improve access along these corridors. Bike lane facilities, where installed, will be installed on newly paved roads. Caltrans.Coordg.nati.gr! LADOT wilt coordinate with Caltrans to improve safety on the three 2019 Priority Corridors within state control and eight (8) Priority ntersections where LADOT shares jurisdiction with Caltrans (Attachment 6). A forthcoming report to Council will expand on the nature of this coordination. Evaluation Recent staff hiring has allowed for more standardization of evaluation protocol and more robust guidelines for the evaluation of projects. LADOT has submitted a budget request for additional staffing to support evaluation. With an additional Data Analyst and Geographic nformation System Specialist, LADOT will conduct evaluation of the efficacy of individual treatments and completed projects in order to inform future projects. FNANCAL MPACT This memorandum does not request additional funds for implementation of these projects. LADOT has submitted budget requests to address work on the new Priority Corridors and ntersections for the City's upcoming budget process. Attachments

Without a green arrow, people driving must yield to oncoming traffic, to make their left turn. When doing so, they typically focus on on-coming traffic to look for gaps and may not pay due attention to people walking in the crosswalk)» it virtually eliminates crashes involving left-turning traffic for the affected intersection/' direction. Where should this safety tool be used?» Where there are conflicts between left turning traffic, opposing traffic, and people walking.2» At intersections with limited sight distance - where people driving cant see oncoming traffic for a long enough period to judge if they ll have enough time to make the turn.2 What else should know about protected left turns?» May result in increased waiting time at the signal for all directions and movements)» Requires an existing left-turn pocket (aka left turn lane).
